GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 317920
Subscriptions UI is showing all accounts
Last modified: 2010-10-02 23:49:02 UTC
Version details: 2.4.1-0ubuntu3 Distribution/Version: Ubuntu/Breezy The subscriptions UI is showing all my email accounts. I have 2 email accounts that are imap, and about 8 others that don't have any receiving server set. It is showing all accounts in the list, and when you select one of the others, you get an alert saying: -- Error while Opening store . Could not parse URL `' --
confirming
Moving this to Mailer.
*** Bug 462942 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Confirming the main point (that the UI shows all accounts) in 2.26.0. Cannot reproduce the alert anymore. (The alert seems to have been produced by camel/camel-url.c:camel_url_new() and mail/mail-ops.c:get_store_desc() and some hard to locate previous version of a third function.) Currently the main part of the "Folder Subscriptions" dialog will say this, if one tries to reproduce the alert: "This store does not support subscriptions, or they are not enabled." (This is from mail/em-subscribe-editor.c:subscribe_set_store().) It must be noted that his message is: - too technical (what's a "store"?); and - confusing, since you cannot really enable subscriptions (it is a hardcoded property of nntp stores and imap stores (grep for CAMEL_STORE_SUBSCRIPTIONS in evolution-data-server/camel/);and - unnecessary, as these unsupported stores should simply be grayed out (unselectable) in the drop down widget listing all stores (whatever its name is). In short: that message should be dropped, stores that do not support subscriptions should be grayed out.
Fixed for 2.91.0 in: http://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/commit/?id=ec089b4a4129458f7140254607306eec0ef4aebf Only stores that support folder subscriptions are listed in the subscriptions dialog.
